I just caught train 326 leaving the following consist: RS2U 469 RS3mk 974 M420W 3563 M420W 798 It was thunderstorming and pouring out, so I could not leave the car for fear of breaking the camera, but I got one, horrid, picture of the 469, but I cannot find my transfer cable. Tomorrow might be the f...

Well, I don't have the directions that Patrick gave me in front of me (I'll find them later), or Patrick will fill you in, but basically, to get SBS's Bay City Yard (Foss Yard), you have to cross the Independence Bridge (into Essexville), and keep going until you get to the light with the 7-11. Take...

I voted for the YN2, because that has to be my favorite paint scheme of all time, with the exception of the Pere Marquete.

With the help of people on both this board and on michiganrailroads, I took a trip this past Saturday to BC and Saginaw. I arrived in Saginaw Saturday in the late morning. My first stop was the hobby shop. I browsed there for a while, and ended up picking up a Walthers Dilivery Van. As a walked out ...

Scooter, What! No pictures of the WC SD45 on NS 186!?!? Just kidding. Nice pictures and videos, though. Keep them comming.

Nice report, but man does the 2014 look dirty. I thought it couldn't get much worse when I saw it in February, but I guess that I was wrong.

I went down to the Lake State yard today (7/5/06) and I was suprised to catch a lot of action. First off, train 325 (switch job) was sitting on the main while the crew was at a late lunch (?). The 469 is out of the shops and is powering the 325 again. I am going to try the posting only the thumbs of...

Hey, consider yourself lucky, as I don't think that I have seen a HLCX engine in 2+ years, and I am almost positive that I have never seen one in that paint scheme.

Sounds like you had fun! Nice catch on the 3300, and nice pictures! Thanks for posting!

I caught LSRC train 326 leaving Alpena yesterday with the following consist; M420W 798 C425M 381 44 cars including 5 flyash and 1 tankcars (from the L-P siding) Here they are "street running" along second street: http://www.railroadfan.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10204/normal_798%20street%201.JPG ht...

Sorry for not posting this sooner, but I ran out of time. Yesterday I went over to the Lake State Yard after I realized that I had missed the train. The 3571 was sitting over near the roundhouse area (next to 975) and you could here the radio from in the cab. I heard, "Ok, you're clear to pull." and...

Absolutely! I'd love to see them!

Today's 327a had the following consist: RS3mk 974 C425M 281 80 cars, including 3 cement cars. I caught them at Johnson Street, but I didn't see the powerlines until after I took the pictures. Here they are: http://www.railroadfan.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10204/normal_974%20on%20the%20bridge%203.J...

Hey Mike, it really would be worth the trip up here. Even with only 3 trains a day, there is so much rail history in Alpena. A few little known facts is that there used to be 2 and I am pretty sure 3 railroads at one time in Alpena, there is still the remains of a railroad bridge over the Thunder Ba...

Just a little update for everybody, Flyash is back on the move, but only on a couple of the trains. Here some of the trains in the past week: Train 326 (6/16/06) RS3mk 974, RS2U 469, 21 stone cars Werth Road http://www.railroadfan.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10204/normal_g%20974%201.JPG Train 327a (...

Nice pictures and videos. By the way, what kind of camera so you have?

"Id like to thank LSRC Fan for all the upto date photos from Alpena."

Thank You

Nice pictures, and nice catches too. I especially like the picture of the 281 in Alpena. One of these day I am going to have to try to get to that location. Again nice pictures and thanks for posting.

I caught the 326 leaving Alpena again, today. The consist went as follows: M420 798 GP35 2003 30-some cars.

Hello, my name is LSRC. Please bear with me as this is my first time posting here. Some people may know my from michiganrailroads.com as the LSRC Railfan. I have been uploading my pictures here for a while, too. I tend to post a lot of pictures of the LSRC, particularly LSRC train 326 leaving Alpena...
